Have you constantly been told that comparing yourself to others is a bad thing? I disagree. We human beings are wired for comparison, so trying to banish it from our lives is a losing battle. It’s natural, neutral, and not a problem unless we use comparison to put ourselves down or inflate our egos.

If you often compare yourself to others and feel bad about it this episode is for you!
Reflection Questions:
What, exactly am I comparing here? In what ways, specifically, do I feel like I don’t measure up? What does this person have or achieved that I want?
What actions did they take to achieve this or get this?
What thoughts caused them to take those actions?
